# Receiving Search for Animera tokens

**Search for Animera** tokens have been released on the **Sonic network**. This L1–blockchain, optimized for DeFi and scalability, is compatible with EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and can work with all common wallets such as [**MetaMask**](/f.a.q/wallets/metamask.md), [**TrustWallet**](/f.a.q/wallets/trust-wallet.md), etc. 

To withdraw tokens from [**Astra Wallet**](https://t.me/AstraWallet_bot) you will need some **Sonic coins** to cover the fees of the blockchain network. Fees are paid with **S coin** (analog of ETH in Ethereum network).

You can buy **S coins** on centralized exchanges such as, **OKX**, [**Bybit**](https://www.bybit.com/invite?ref=RV9WRK#0), or use **decentralized bridges**.

Let's consider both options to get **S coins** and send them to [**Astra Wallet**](https://t.me/AstraWallet_bot).

<br>

**Option 1: Buy S on** [**Bybit**](https://www.bybit.com/invite?ref=RV9WRK#0) **exchange and withdrawal directly to** [**Astra Wallet**](https://t.me/AstraWallet_bot) **in Sonic network.**

Buying **S coins** will require registration and verification on the [**Bybit**](https://www.bybit.com/invite?ref=RV9WRK#0) exchange and some USDT.

➡️ [**Register on Bybit exchange**](/partnerships/current-partners/bybit-is-a-cryptocurrency-exchange-specializing-in-derivatives-trading./registration-and-kyc-compliance-on-bybit.md)

➡️ [**Buy USDT on p2p Bybit**](/f.a.q/mdao-token/buying-mdao-tokens/buying-mdao-on-bybit.md#buying-usdt-through-p2p)<br>

Go to **Trade** (1), **Spot** (2) and **select a trading pair** (3).

Enter **Sonic** in the search and select the **S/USDT** (Spot) trading pair from the results.

**Do not confuse the trading pair!**

Go to the **Buy section** and **select order** (Market or Limit). We recommend to choose market order for a quick buy for a small amount.

Specify the buy **amount** and click **Buy**.

**Confirm the order** by clicking the **Buy S button**.

Now you need to **transfer coins from your Trading account to your Funding account** for withdrawal from the exchange.

Go to **Assets** and click the **Transfer button**.

Transfer **S coins** from the **Unified Trading Account** to the **Funding Account**.

**Next**, to withdraw **S coins**, go to the **Assets section** again and click the **Withdraw button**.

**Select S coins** for withdrawal, **specify the address of your** [**Astra Wallet**](https://t.me/AstraWallet_bot) in the **Sonic netw**ork and **select the network**.

**Enter the amount** and click **Withdraw** and **wait** for the exchange to process the transaction.<br>

**Option 2: Exchange tokens through a bridge**

The **Sonic network** provides a few bridge options, which you can check out on the [**Sonic Labs website**](https://my.soniclabs.com/apps?tags=bridge) and choose any bridge you like or are familiar with.

We'll show the swap using the bridge from [**Symbiosis**](https://app.symbiosis.finance/swap) as an example.&#x20;

Here are a few reasons for this choice:

\- Almost any token/coin can be exchanged for an **S coin** (e.g. USDC on the Optimism network, ETH on the Arbitrum network, etc.)

\- Almost any non-custodial wallets are available, e.g. [**MetaMask**](/f.a.q/wallets/metamask.md) and withdraw **S coins** to [**Astra Wallet**](https://t.me/AstraWallet_bot).

> **Note**: When using new protocols always test send small amounts.

Let's use [**MetaMask**](/f.a.q/wallets/metamask/metamask-mobile-version.md) wallet. Open the **internal browser** of the wallet and go to [**https://app.symbiosis.finance/swap**](https://app.symbiosis.finance/swap).

**Connect the wallet**.

Open the **Swap section** and in the **first box select the cryptocurrency** to be exchanged.

You can select the network and the coin you have on your wallet.

> **Please note**: You will need “gas” to cover the fees of your chosen network. For example, on the Optimism network, this is ETH on Optimism network.
